Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and system of cultivating a rose plant in a greenhouse or a vinyl plastic hothouse so as to obtain cut roses.
  • FIGS. 5A-5E A conventional method of cultivating a rose plant will now be described in brief with reference to FIGS. 5A-5E.
  • FIG. 5A When usually 30-40 days have elapsed after a rose seedling is planted, soy bean-sized buds are formed as shown in FIG. 5A.
  • the twigs with these buds and one to two upper leaves thereon are then pinched as shown by broken lines in FIG. 5B.
  • New shoots then come out from the nipped ends of the twigs.
  • FIG. 5C shows such condition. Therefore, these twigs must be also pinched as shown by broken lines in FIG. 5D.
  • the conventional rose cultivating method described above is a rose height increasing tall training method in which the pinching of an upper portion of a twig with a bud and one or two leaves and the cutting of a grown twig with a flower are done with the lower portions of the twigs with the leaves thereon left as they are, to put forth a terminal bud and grow the twig by utilizing apical dominance, that is, the inherent property of a plant such as a rose, whereby a position in which a twig with a flower is cut is heightened. Therefore, it takes much time and labor to remove side buds (lateral buds) and cut a twig with a flower, so that the operation efficiency becomes low.
  • the pruning of twigs is done at least once a year so as to decrease the tree height of the rose, and, therefore, the cutting of a twig with a flower is limited to six or seven times a year at most.
  • the tall training method hampers the passage of sunlight through twigs to cause the unevenness of temperature of the cultivation bed and variations in the environmental conditions in the greenhouse. Since the lengths of stems differ about 20 cm to about 80 cm, much time is required to carry out a flower selection operation (flower grading), and it is necessary that the twigs and buds be thinned out or pinched.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a rose cultivating method capable of growing a rose so that an object twig with a flower can be cut in about a waist-high position at the highest, and picking cut flowers with long stems and of a high quality continuously with little effort.
  • the present invention provides a method of cultivating a plant, comprising the steps of nipping the buds only on initially grown twigs in an initial period of cultivation of a rose, forcibly bending the resultant twigs at the portions thereof which are in the vicinity of the plant foot of the rose and maintaining the bent twigs in a prostrated state, growing basal shoots which come out from the portion of the rose which is in the vicinity of the plant foot thereof into twigs, cutting off the resultant twigs with flowers at the base portions thereof, growing, after the initial cut flowers are obtained, the shoots coming out from the cut ends of the remaining twigs and newly coming out basal shoots into twigs with all the uncut twigs bent and kept prostrated, cutting off the resultant grown twigs with flowers at the base portions thereof, and thereafter repeating the twig prostrating, shoot growing and grown twig cutting operations.
  • another object of the present invention is to provide a new system for conducting the rose cultivating method which can grow a rose so that an object twig with a flower can be cut in about a waist-high position.
  • the system has a bench, a rock wool cultivation medium on the bench support rod means on both sides of the bench for holding resilient strings or wires above and along longitudinal sides of the bench so that the twigs that bear flowers to be thinned are bent under, and held by, the resilient wires and kept prostrated in a lodging state.
  • FIGS. 1A-1E illustrate in order how to grow twigs of a rose after a rose seeding is planted according to the method of the present invention
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of supporting poles in the system shown in FIG. 2,
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of supporting poles in the system shown in FIG. 2,
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view of a bench in another embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGS. 5A-5E are illustrations of a conventional cultivation method.
  • FIGS. 1A to 1E of the drawing when usually 30-40 days have elapsed after a rose seedling was planted, a soy bean-sized bud is formed as shown in FIG. 1A, and in the same manner as in a conventional method.
  • the buds 1 only which are illustrated by broken lines in FIG. 1B, are pinched, and twigs 2 are bent forcibly at the portions thereof which are in the vicinity of a plant foot, and kept prostrated by a suitable means, for example, by binding the twigs 2 to support posts (not shown).
  • a suitable means for example, by binding the twigs 2 to support posts (not shown).
  • it is preferable that the twigs 2 are kept prostrated or lodged by using the system of the present invention, which will be described presently with reference to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4.
  • the parts shown with narrowly spaced lateral lines in the plant (rose) of FIG. 1C represent twigs 3 grown from these basal shoots. When these twigs 3 are cut off at the base portions thereof, cut flowers with a long stem and of a high quality are obtained.
  • the parts shown with narrowly spaced lateral lines in FIG. 1D represent twigs with flowers, to be cut and parts painted out in black in the same drawing represent the portions to be left after a twig cutting operation.
  • the parts 4 shown with narrowly spaced lateral lines represent twigs which are grown from the shoots generated at the ends of the previously cut twigs after the upper part thereof have been cut off as twigs with flowers, and which are to be subsequently cut off at the base portions thereof as twigs with flowers.
  • cut flowers having a long stem and a high quality can be obtained from initially grown twigs, and shoots and basal shoots are thereafter generated in succession from the cut ends of the previously cut twigs, whereby cut flowers having a long stem and a high quality can be obtained throughout the year.
  • the twigs with flowers are cut off always at the base portions thereof, so that the efficiency of a twig cutting operation is very high. Since weak twigs are bent every time such twigs are grown, a power-saving on bud nipping operation can be attained.
  • this cultivation method need not carry out a twig pruning operation, so that it has no periods of interruption of cultivation.
  • the system for single-thread (or single row) planting has a bench 11 having a height of about 50 cm which is assembled with a plurality of pipes and points as illustrated.
  • a plate 12 is placed on the bench 11 to provide a flat surface, on which a synthetic resin sheet 13 and a non-woven fabric sheet 14 are placed.
  • On the non-woven fabric sheet 14 a rock wool culture medium 15 formed with a rock wool bed 16 and a rock wool pot 17 on the bed 16 is placed as illustrated.
  • the synthetic resin sheet 13 is bent at its opposed ends to form semi-circular grooves 18 extending along the length of the bench 11, and adhered at its ends 13a to the non-woven fabric 14 so that the semi-circular grooves 18 maintain their shape for servicing as drain passages 30.
  • a drip irrigation device which is known in the art is used to supply a nutrient liquid to the rock wool pot 7.
  • An excess nutrient liquid is collected at the drain passages 30 for recovery through the non-woven fabric sheet 14.
  • the non-woven fabric sheet extends at its ends fully into a semi-cylindrical space confined by bending the ends of the synthetic resin sheet 13 so that the excess nutrient liquid can drop into the drain passages 30 without fail.
  • Supporting poles 19 are disposed at the opposite sides of the bench 11, by means of suitable arms 31 as illustrated in FIG. 2, or by directly inserting into the soil of the ground. Between the supporting poles 19 on both sides of the bench 11, an extensible string or wire 20 of an extensible and resilient material, partly or entirely, are installed in an extensible manner.
  • the wire 20 can be formed with longitudinal combination of an extensible and non extensible strings or wires so that pulling of the wire by manipulation at any portion of the wire 20 causes extension of the wire, and the wire can be retracted to its original position when the pulling force is released. Accordingly, it is quite easily carry out an operation of bending the twigs below the wire and holding the bent twigs in a crossing posture with respect to the wire 20.
  • the strength for keeping the twigs in a prostrated posture is determined by the position of holding the twigs, that is, the position of the wires 20.
  • the supporting pole 9 has two removable two pole portions 19a, 19b which are rotatably coupled to each other by a bolt 21 and a wingnut 22 so that the angle of the upper pole portion 19b can be changed selectively relative to the lower pole portion.
  • the position of the wire 20 can be readily changed by selectively changing the angle of the two pole portions 19a, 19b.
  • reference numeral 24 represent a duct for hot air transportation.
  • FIG. 4 shows an example of a two-thread planting using a trapezoidal bench 11 with rock wool cultivation media 15 in a two-line configuration.
  • rock wool cultivation media 15 composed of a rock wool bed 16 and a rock wool pot 17 are placed directly on the trapezoidal bench 15 without using a plate like the plate 12 of the embodiment of FIG. 2.
  • the trapezoidal bench 15 has drain passages 18 at the foot of the both sides thereof, by bending the foot portions as illustrated so that the synthetic resin sheet 13 and the non-woven fabric sheet 14 in the embodiment of FIG. 2 can be omitted.
  • the bench 15 shown in FIG. 4 forms a chamber 23 with respect to the ground.
  • a duct 24 for feeding hot air is embodied in the ground so that openings 25 of the duct 24 are located in the chamber 23.
  • Reference numeral 26 represents through-holes for connecting the heated space in the chamber 23 with the outside space of the trapezoidal bench.
  • the bent twigs can be immediately and effectively held in a prostrated posture.
  • the rock wool cultivation media are placed at a higher position by using a bench, the twigs can be bent sufficiently downwardly so that coming out of unnecessary side buds can be reduced.
  • troublesome and timeconsuming pruning operation can be reduced.
  • the bent twigs are not contacted with the soil or the ground and, accordingly, there is a reduced possibility of generation of disease damage and narrowing of working space or passage on the ground does not occur.
  • the bench of the system can provide a space thereunder, which can be used for placing a duct for feeding various kinds of gas such as air for controlling temperature and/or humidity in the greenhouse or CO 2 gas for facilitating photosynthetic activities.
